Someone remind me. Is this the interim or permanent manager?

It’s a matter of when now.

Donovan has to start going forward.

He’s performed well in two Europa games away from home.

He can handle our domestic fixtures and has a far higher ceiling than Ralston.

Great frame for the position and a nice knack of timing in the tackle.

Quick one on last night’s game.

Writing for Read Celtic just now. It’s a change in tone from my usual substack approach but a learning curve in covering games quickly.

Was on the bus this morning typing away.

Not quite one foot in the knockouts but things look a lot brighter this morning.

Roll on Roma.

Maswanhise at it again.

We will need to buy 2/3 right wingers over the next two windows.

Decent place to start.

Never been a massive fan of a back 3 but best get used to it. Will be interesting to see it applied or adapted to play against low blocks 80% of the time.

An intriguing appointment to say the least.

Is Donovan injured? If not, it’s quite strange to leave him out the squad and shoehorn JSP in at RB.

Anything above bottom 6 in the league and Ralston is out his depth.

He was dreadful on Sunday but this is another level. He’s so scared to put his foot in.

Big Trusty looked the part today. Playing on the right isn’t ideal for him but that was a good performance.

More power through the spine of the team with him, Engels and Kenny playing.

We would have been unlucky to lose that game but ultimately, we were quite fortunate to win.

Never a handball but we’ll take it.

Tounekti looks exciting.

About the only stick we can’t beat the board with but it would have loved to have got Lennon Miller.

On paper it was an ideal succession plan for McGregor.

2 points clear. 37 games to go.

Not the slick performance we would have liked but a game we dominated and could have easily won 2/3 nil.

Palma, Tilio and Kwon gone in the last two days.

Everyone bar Bernardo gone from the summer 23 fiasco. An impressive cull.

We’ll be struggling to field a 5s team at this rate. Time to get busy.
